how easy is it to lower a car? im thinkin about gettin mine lowered maybe 40 or 60 mm? i dont know which, i have 17\" alloys currently on it which went straight on with no probs etc..... i am currently a happy bunny as all this time where i was gettin probs such as stalling, car cutting out and not responding to accelerator was the K&N induction

have since put my standard filter box back on and the car is running sweet as a nut...... i like my car again lol

ok, looks pretty straight forward, BUT how low can i go with 17\" Alloys? will i have to do anything to the arches to avoid rubbng? will any other problems occur if i lower? do i just need to buy lowering springs? no other things at all if i wanted to do this... ive also been looking on ebay etc and some say, it is recommened that shortened shock absorbers shud be used with this kit or something? also where is the cheapest place to get em? ebay?

you only really need shortened shock when lowering 60mm
